Dance Music's Lost Classic

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Everyone's heard (and reacted to) "People Are Still Having Sex" and those in the know know about "Blue;" but this release has somehow fallen off the radar. So much the pity; as this is one of the few techno/dance releases which actually makes an attempt to appeal to a bigger audience than the remixers and dancers.



This release was made more for the cassette, as each set of five songs has its own beginning and end song and is centered with a more atmospheric cut. While the two remixes on the end (an expression of the "use every inch of the CD" ethos which made CD buying a less enjoyable enterprise even before the advent of Napster 1) can be seen as unnecessary, they are worthy enough additions to the CD to listen to.



Buy this where you can. Maybe if enough people purchase this platter it will be rereleased, as the music has aged less than many of the hits that were on the radio then (or now) and it is as deserving now as before."
